North Sea: Controversy around crab rolls flared up

If you don't love the north and like to relax by the sea, you may also like to treat himself to a delicious crab roll - a north German specialty that conquers the hearts of many. But recently a photo from Cuxhaven on the North Sea caused excitement on social media and led to heated discussions about the right way to enjoy a crab roll.

A traditional crab roll in the north German species consists of a few but precisely coordinated ingredients: a fresh roll, butter, delicate North Sea crab and somewhat fresh lettuce. But what happens when sauce suddenly comes into play?

Exactly what happened in the said photo, which put the Internet into turmoil: Instead of the classic butter base, the crab roll was generously covered with sauce, which is an absolute no-go for many North Sea lovers.

The reactions on the Internet were shared. While some were outraged by the supposed disfigurement of the traditional crab roll, others defended the freedom of individual taste. It is quite conceivable for them to enjoy crab rolls with sauce or even garlic dip.

Ultimately, the question remains: Where is the limit between tradition and individual taste? Everyone should respect and accept their preferences that the variety of opinions is the salt in the soup - or the sauce on the roll - of life. It is up to you how he prefers to enjoy his crab roll.
